Noname to Change 'Room 25' Cover After Artist Accused of Assault

Chicago rapper Noname dropped her debut studio album Room 25last month, but she's just announced that the album artwork will be getting a makeover.

The original cover was designed by Bryant Giles, who was arrested last week for misdemeanour domestic battery causing bodily harm. He has since posted bail and is expected in court next month.

Giles was publicly accused of rape and domestic abuse against his ex-girlfriend Ellie Danisch. A woman and former classmate of Giles, who claims to be the alleged victim's best friend, went public with details of the allegations on social media last week.

Noname has now spoken out against Giles, saying that she is working to change the artwork to Room 25 because "I do not and will not support abusers." She also shared a message of support for Danisch.

Read that message below via Twitter.

In light of recent allegations, I will be working to replace the cover artwork of Room 25. I do not and will not support abusers, and I will always stand up for victims and believe their stories. My heart goes out to Ellie, her family, and all survivors of abuse.
